Refer now to Fig. 2, illustrate and be used for for example sectional view of a kind of exemplary embodiment of the differential pressure pick-up 36 of system 10 of pressure sensitive system.Pressure transducer 36 comprises to the fixed support 38 that support structure is provided as two retes 40 and 42 of barrier film.Fixed support 38 can be configured to circular structure, rectangular structure, square structure body or can help measuring any sealing or the open architecture body of pressure reduction between two pressurized environment.In this embodiment, two barrier films 40 and 42 are connected on the fixed support 38, thereby form chamber 44 and limit chamber 44 by these structures.Can vacuumize so that vacuum area is encapsulated in it chamber 44.
Resonant member or resonant beam 46 are arranged in the chamber 44.Can be by embedding the electrostatic actuator excitation resonant beam 46 of control circuit 22 shown in Figure 1.Thereby, can make resonant beam 46 with its natural reonant frequency vibration.Yet when resonant beam 46 during through strain that the distortion of strained for example pressure reduction causes, the resonant frequency of resonant beam vibration departs from natural reonant frequency.Can demarcate this variation or the skew of resonant frequency, with the power of the reading size of pressure, gravity, stress etc. for example.Sensor 36 also comprises a set of mesas 48 and 50.Resonant beam 46 is clipped between the table top 48 and can places along sensor 36 central authorities' symmetries, passes table top 50 simultaneously.Although show among Fig. 2 to have three set of mesas, can construct the table top of any amount.As shown in the figure, central table top 50 can be configured to the area of the area of its covering greater than table top 48 coverings on every side.The component that the central table top 50 that area is bigger will vertically act on rete 40 passes to rete 42, and vice versa, thereby allows the distortion of resonant member 46 to be directly proportional with the pressure differential that acts on two retes.The area that one skilled in the art will appreciate that table top is big more, and the loss that rete 40 and 42 line-pressure sensitivity cause is more little.
It should be noted that in chamber 44 table top 48 can be placed between fixed support 38 and the table top 50 asymmetricly.The asymmetric placement of table top 48 can be based on the line pressure susceptibility.The asymmetry of table top helps eliminating the line-pressure sensitivity of two retes 40 and 42.
With reference to figure 3, illustrate the exploded view of differential pressure pick-up 37.As shown in the figure, pressure transducer 37 comprises the fixed support 38 that supports two retes or barrier film 40 and 42.
